Wondering if anyone has used this lock: http://www.saveyourseatlock.com/ . Seems like a light and easy way to lock a quick-release seat while still being able to use the quick-release when needed. But is it anything more than a minor deterrent? The key mechanism certainly doesn't look strong.

I live in NYC and bike commute, so don't want to mess with a lock everyday....messing with cables are a pain and a mini-cable is ugly and easily cut.

Looks pretty cool and I thought it was genius!... at first. Till I realized all you would have to do is unscrew the bolt that clamps the saddle to the post (the bolt that also adjusts the tilt/fore-aft position of the saddle) and the saddle is gone... But I guess you would still have your seatpost!

Commuting on the seat post could add a new dimension to one's ride. :):)

Very good point, russ3706. I think I may get the lock anyway and replace the saddle bolt with a security bolt. Surely not as secure as a mini u-lock, but much lighter and more esthetically pleasing.

Something may have gotten past me here, but why would you think you need to unlock it everyday?

That wouldn't protect your seat from being stolen, only your seat post. You could still remove the seat.

I don't think anyone is talking about unlocking the seat everyday, but I personally adjust my seat once a week or so depending on various ride conditions.

This lock seems like the lightest, most estetic and least obtrusive way to deter seat theft (assuming you add a security bolt for the saddle as I mentioned above), while still allowing you to quickly adjust the seat when necessary. However, due to the lock mechanism of this thing, I'm not sure how secure it will actually be. ....Would be nice if they posted a return or warranty policy. I will report back to this post once I've used it.

What I did instead of anything more expensive (for my Specialized beater) was to go to the dollar store and buy a locking cable just for my saddle.
